Our School at Blair Grocery is a Food Security Academy in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward. According to Kickstarter, the school is working to provide a safe space where kids can come to learn, work, and cultivate sustainable foods in a part of the country that's been hit hard by poverty, natural disasters, and a lack of basic resources.Kickstarter is listing a seriously worthwhile project and you can help fund it. The school is working to raise $10,000 by August 2 to support their small but productive 1 acre farm in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward.

Currently Our School at Blair Grocery is working with over 30 at risk kids to teach them the importance of sustainable farming and more importantly, how to farm.
